Water Alarm / Shutoff

lexluthorMarch 10, 2011

I'm looking to install a water leak alarm / shutoff.

I'll have it professionally installed.

I have a Weil McLain oil boiler with a Weil McLain indirect WH has well.

What should I be looking for? What are my options? Do I need multiple devices for each zone or does one shutoff just get installed at the water input to the boiler and then a pad gets put on the floor somewhere near the boiler/WH?

Feel free to suggest specific items in different price ranges.

Is this something I might want to integrate into my home alarm system as well or is that more complicated/costly?

Some thermostats, like the Ecobee wi fi stat, have some open connectors that could have sensors like a wet switch or open doors, added to them. A wi fi stat can send you an email if the sensor switch is tripped.
